Roll Trinkets.

The book reads two dice left to right, so a 3 then a 5 is entry 35. Here one entry in each band is open. Roll for a band and the book opens there. The other 30 stay locked, and so does every other table in the book.

Tap the dice, or any entry.

Roll, and you get the line exactly as the book prints it.

d66 Prompts for Loot with a Story

One entry in this book is a hoard of four hundred left boots, good ones, sorted by size, and it points out that there's a pile of four hundred right ones out there somewhere. That's the kind of treasure these tables deal in, and your usual book can go on deciding what the pile is worth in coin.

There are 144 entries over four tables. Trinkets is 36 small objects with some history, for when a pocket, drawer or pack gets searched. The Hoard Speaks describes a pile by what it gives away about its owner, and it gets rolled once before the party lays eyes on it. Provenance says where a valuable thing came from, for any treasure worth an argument. The Price covers what happens after it's been won.

The four tables also stack on each other, so one trinket can pick up a provenance and then a price. A single object might get rolled on three of the four tables before the session is out.
